It was said that the committee would submit the plan to the Board of Bulld- Ing Trades for its consideration. The action of the Fuller Construction Company in accepting arbitration with its workers has-so far demoralized the Employers’ Association that a hurry call for a meeting of the Emergency Committee was sent out for this after- noon, It is believed that the more con- servative element are in favor of a compromise and that their counsels may prevail. None of those composing the committee would discuss the mat- ter before the meeting. HOUSE SHORERS _ STRIKE FOR MORE.

Leave only, a. ees Justice Grants Petition for Op- portunity to Defend Himself on Charge that He Ié Incap- able of Managing His Affairs. Daniel M. Coffin, of No 19 West Aixty- ninth street, protested to Justice Gie- gerich, of the Supreme Court, against being haled to court without notics, charges and specifications for examina- tion as an alleged inopmpetent person jto manage himself or his property, and the Justice vacated the order com- plained of. Justice Glegerich said in effect that it would be fairer to give Mr. Coffin notice of the specific charges upon which is based the claim that he is incompetent, 80 that he mey meet them ‘The original orcer was sig ied by Jus- tice Clarke on the petition of Mrs. Coffin, who alleged that her husband was a hebditual drunkard, and in op- position to Charles J. McBurney’s mo- tion to vacate the order. Her attor- neys, Blatchford & Sherman, submitted an affidavit signed Daniel M. Coffin, Jr., who says that on June 9, when he got home with a friend who was going to sleep with him, his father upbraidea him for joining in the proceeding ana told him to leave the house, as he could no longer live there. He went to stay with friends and two days late returning to his home he found that his father had changed all|! the locks, taken out the bell pull and nailed a boant over the place. Later Annie and Bertha, the servants, told him they had been locked in the house two days by his father. The son says his éister had to leave) going to her grandfather at Stony Point because she was aftald to remain with her father. In his aMdavit demanding a copy of the cha ges and a fair notice Daniel ‘M. Coffin says ‘the trouble all grew out of the fact that his aged mother, Jane Coffin, widow of Silas Coffin, who|n died in April, made him practically her sole legatee, to the displeasure of his wife and certain relatives, “I am not an habitual drunkard,” says |B Mr. Coffin, ‘and I pave the Intelligeace and moral character of at least the average of men.

SHEEPSHEAD BAY RACE TRACK, June 2%.—This was the worst day tor racing a local tratk fas ever known. The storm of the morning left the course a perfect canal, almost kree- deep with water, and any sort of good sport was entirely out of the question. Thousands of followers of the horses on the way to the track were delayea for hours between New York and King’s Highway and rdarhed here late. Many turned back when it was at last pos- sible to move and did not care to con- tinue the journey, Less than two thousand people were on hand when the time came for the first race, and the officials hurriedly got together and postponed the starting for half an hour. This was made necessary by the non-arrival of rfany of the jock- eys, who were on the stalled trains or street cars. Only five bookmakers were ready for business at post time. The card was ruined for the day, as many of the owners declined to send thelr horses on a journey through tie water, The attendance was pmbably the lightest a Metropolitan track has ever AMERICAN LEAGUE.

RUSSIANS CALLED TO TALK OF MANCHURIA Czar's War Minister Summons Other High Officials for a Conference. PEKING, June 2.—The Russian Min- ister, M. Lessar, has been suddenly summoned to a conference with Gen. Kuropatkin, the Russian War Min- ister; Admiral Alexiff, in command of the Russian fleet in the Pacific; M, Pokotlloff, manager of the Russo-Chin- ese Rank at Peking, and other officers at Port Arthur regarding Russia's po- sition at Manchuria, M, Lessar leaves here July 1 All the yachts crossed the Hne on the starboard tack, but the Reliance and Columbia immediately made @ short board to port, while the Constitution held on up the Narragansett shore toward the Brenton's Reef lightship. The Reliance soon swung after her and fifteen minutes after the start had ap- parently established herself in a fine position just off the weather quarter of the Belmont boat. The yachts held to the starboard tack until within a mile of the Lightship, the Reliance gaining all the time until she ‘was on the bow of the Constitution and was leading in the race. The Conetitu- tlon was the first to tack, followed im- mediately by Reliance on her weather bow. Columbia Not So Slow. In the mean time the Columbit had been doing some fine work and met the two boats coming off shore. To every me's surprise the old cup defender slipped rigat in between the Reliance and Constitution, and at that time ap- peared to bt second boat in the race, with the Constitution last. She came up on the starboard tack and the Con- stitution, holding off shore on the port tuck, was forced to give way to her. At 12.40 the Reliance was leading the fleet and her speed In the rough sea and strong breeze was i greater than ever before. The ww blew so hard that none of the boats at- tempted to set jibtopsails At this time the Rella: .e was leading the Constitution by half a mile and the | Columbla by three-eighths of a mile, and appeared to be constantly gaining on them and apparently @ good winner. ‘A mile and a half from the finish a heavy rain set in, obscuring the yachts entirely from this voint. Just before that time the yachts were timed and the Rellance was leading the Columbia by three minutes and twenty seconds and the Constitution by four minutes and forty seconds. Reliance Had Short Lead. It took the yachts a trifle under two hours to sail the fifteen miles to the windward mark, and when they turned it was seen that the Constitution hal picked up considerably by’ not going into Seaconet River. ‘The yachts all wore round the mark, being timed from this point as follows: HM Reliance Columbia. Constitution All the boats gybed over to port im- Mmediately on rounding and set spinna- kers to starboard. The good work of the Columbta in keeping up with Reliance caused considerable comment among the yaautsmen at this point, and it was the general opinion among some of t perts that if Rellance could not beat the old boat more than a minute and a few seconds in a Mf{teen-mile thresh to wind- ward in a ten-knot breeze the America Cup was in great danger. 8T.

There hundreds of families were driven from their homes and the police reserves were sent into the flooded district with patrol wagons to the rescue of those who had been driven out by the flood.

SHEEPSHEAD BAY RACE TRACK, June 29.—Thourands of Tace- goers are imprisoned in trafns between New York and the race track. The Long Island Rallroad trains are held up near East New York. The Brighton’ Beach line came to grief in the cut near Flatbush, and the various trolley lines have met with disaster of @ll sorts, Race-goers arrived at the course soaking wet with rain and muddy water. Each had a harrowing tale of tribulation, At 2 o’clock this after, rs noon less than a thousand people were at the course, The Brighton Beach line, which is the Kings County “L” road, switches from Fulton street down to the main road for Brighton. At Park place the trains run into a deep cut which extends for a mile or more, ending at Beverly road. The first train which ran into the cut about noon met @ washout half way to Beverly road. Other trains piled in behind it. WOMEN CARRIED FROM TRAINS. The water in the cut was waist deep and the people were imprisoned. Soine daring spirits with Important business at the course leaped into the water and waded to high ground. Women were carried on the shoulders = of the men. J It is not known how many were caught in the cut, but it is sald that at least ten train loads were held up. None had arrived at the track up to 2 o'clock. Report had it that the trains were held up by a washout near er oat Past New York. ‘At 10.30 o'clock this morning a Manhattan Beach train passing through the Flatbush cut on the Brighton road was struck by a landslide near Carroll street. A huge rock weighing several tons rolled down the em- bankment and crushed in the side of the car, On board the train was De tective Al Butler, of the Pinkerton force, and several other employees of the track. PANIC ON THE TRAIN. i , Half a dozen women were passengers. A panic ensued. The passem gers leaped from the train into the water, which was waist high, The — women were assisted to a place of safety. At the time of the accident the train was proceeding on very slow headway, Had the speed been as high od is the rule at this point many lives would have lost. mi Charles White, the well-known authority on prize-ring affairs, was a trolley car which was rounding on to Ocean avenue from Avenue, ‘An explosion occurred and in the panic which ensued White was into a seat and his right leg badly bruised. DEPOT BECOMES A POOL-ROOM. ‘Tim Sullivan and a crowd of sports were in the Long Island Oity stati waiting for the 1.10 train to leave, when the announcement was made tl trains for the day had been abandoned. 4 The depot was then turned into a veritable pool-room, hundreds é the “bookies” to take their money. The obliging gentlemen started: with a roll that they could hardly get through the station door, » Sullivan agd his followers started back to the
